Few of these questions have a right or wrong answer. Instead, they are intended to probe the candidate's intellect and suitability for the position.

You should consider the position, your company's culture and your organizational structure when evaluating a candidate's answers. The applicant’s reasoning and thought processes are often more important than the answer itself.

The questions in this section are not applicable to every situation. Select those that make sense for the specific position.
